Toy Fair 2012: Hape

Toy Fair 2012: Hape
I have always liked Hape, I guess its because I’m a mom and I like good quality toys.  Hape is no exception when it comes to quality toys. This past Christmas I think I have become an even bigger fan because we got one of their play kitchen sets for our daughter and she LOVES it! ...

Toy Fair 2012: BrickStix
After writing about them recently we finally got to see BrickStix at the Toy Fair, and previewed their brand new ‘Mod’ line of stickers.  They haven’t even been released yet and we got our hands on some of them!! There were a lot of cool sets that they had at their booth, especially the comic ...

Toy Fair 2012: LEGO

Toy Fair 2012: LEGO
When does LEGO not disappoint? This year at Toy Fair is no different.  There was a life size giant HULK, Batman, Robin and Wonder Woman.  There was by far the coolest Batman LEGO set I have ever seen, with Bruce Wayne turning into Batman right before my eyes! I got see the new Jabba the ...

Toy Fair 2012: Playmobil

Toy Fair 2012: Playmobil
I have some fond memories of playing with Playmobil figures when I was young so I was excited to visit their booth at Toy Fair 2012. One thing that immediately struck me when I walked into the booth was that these were not the same toys I remembered. In fact these were BETTER than the Playmobil ...

Toy Fair 2012: Tokidoki
It was great to see Tokidoki at Toy Fair this year, it was exciting as well to see all their new pieces that are coming out this year.  I asked if there are talks about another run of the Tokidoki x Barbie, which I think should totally happen, but I couldn’t get a definite confirmation ...

Toy Fair 2012: Planet Obo

Toy Fair 2012: Planet Obo
Checked out this booth, Planet Obo.  It was an interesting approach to smaller collectible toys.  I could see this more as a desk item, not sure if it could grow into say the Munny franchise, but its a cool idea.  They are little creatures, Obos, that live on the Planet Obo, They all have different ...

Toy Fair 2012: Mimobot

Toy Fair 2012: Mimobot
We always love what Mimobot has to offer, this time around we got to see the new USB drive/mini card readers.  I love how small they are and cute of course.  It’s always nice to see what Mimobot has to offer!  See you at PAX EAST?!?!

Toy Fair 2012: ThinkGeek 8 Bitty

Toy Fair 2012: ThinkGeek 8 Bitty
The iCADE 8-Bitty. It pairs wirelessly just like our iCADE, and it’s compatible with a growing list of hundreds of retro game apps, including the Atari Classics collection, Pac Man, Super Mega Worm, and more (see full list). Because the 8-Bitty uses a completely open interface system, any app developer can easily add game support–even to Android ...
